While many members of the Mythic Dawn stay at the secret shrine in the Lake Arrius Caverns, some are posing as regular townsfolk. This is not an issue until your identity is revealed to the Mythic Dawn after your theft of the Mysterium Xarxes during the Dagon Shrine quest. After this, Mythic Dawn agents will attack on sight until the Light the Dragonfires quest is finished.

Usually, your only warning will be when they scream "For Lord Dagon!" before they summon their Daedric armor. The agents will attack regardless of the presence of other townsfolk or guardsmen and may kill townsfolk or guards in order to attack you.

The Mythic Dawn agents attack due to a 100 point faction-wide decrease in disposition when you steal the Mysterium Xarxes. If an agent already had a 100 disposition toward you, it will not drop below 1, and they can still be engaged in conversation normally. Otherwise, using a combination of Charm, Speechcraft, and/or 100% Chameleon, you can raise an agent's disposition to prevent them from attacking you. Conversely, by deliberately lowering their disposition you can provoke these agents to attack you well before stealing the Mysterium Xarxes. At the end of the Light the Dragonfires quest, the disposition drop is reversed. Therefore, any Mythic Dawn Agents who survive the Main Quest will no longer be hostile.

You may also encounter trouble with the agents before the Dagon Shrine quest. If you are, for example, traveling to Cloud Ruler Temple with Martin and Jauffre on the Weynon Priory Quest and you enter a town where a Mythic Dawn sleeper agent is walking around, Martin and Jauffre may attack and kill the agent.

If you opt to burgle their houses, you may discover Mythic Dawn paraphernalia in their house, such as a Mythic Dawn robe or one of the "Mythic Dawn Commentaries" volumes.

It is also possible to discover the identity of Mythic Dawn agents by leaving Lake Arrius Caverns immediately after talking to the door guard (before talking to Harrow). If a townsperson is an agent, he or she will say, "Greet the new day, brother/sister," as you approach, but will still have the same dialogue options as normal.

The sleeper agents generally have unique dialogue and have new dialogue for city-specific topics; for example, Else God-Hater has new dialogue about Glarthir.

The following table provides a full list of of Mythic Dawn agents. Unless stated otherwise, the agents are sleeper agents.
